THE BREWERIES & THE BEERS

All beers are subject to availability and some last-minute substitutions may occur.

Allgates, Wigan NOTES www.allgatesbrewery.com | @allgatesbrewers

Rule of 72 – A single hopped Experimental APA – 4.5% abv

Brewed with Experimental hop 07270 (a big bold high alpha hop), it’s like walking through Kielder Forest on a summer’s day — green, earthy, resinous & some spice — with a sweet underlying tropical fruit character. The pine carries over into the flavour, assaulting the palate with thick, juicy resin which fades away, allowing citrus fruit to make an appearance and a dry finish.

Brewing fine craft beer in the heart of Wigan, in a fully restored 19th Century Grade II-listed, tower brewery and combining heritage with imagination, All Gates build on a British cask ale tradition, producing bold hop-forward beers but retaining balance and subtlety; beers with true Northern Soul.

Alphabet Brew Co., Manchester www.alphabetbrewing.co.uk | @alphabetbrewco

Kerbkicker Saison – Saison – 5.3% abv

The Pale ale with fruity, hoppy character that is Kerbkicker, fermented with Saison yeast – especially for us!

Pavlov’s Dog – Peach Iced Tea Blonde – 4.0% abv

40 kilos of fresh peaches and 5 kilos of Chinese white tea have been crammed into a luscious blonde ale brewed with pilsner malt, Carapils and acidulated malt. A huge hit of juicy peach and bready malt will crash across your tongue, followed by a smokey, earthy white tea that provides a tannic backbone to make you have another sup.

One of the North’s newest breweries, Atom are fundamentally a brewery dedicated to making good, flavour forward drinkable beer. We have been borne out of the passion for beers and science by Allan Rice and Sarah Thackray. Ultimately we find the process of making beer using world class ingredients, some traditional and some off the wall, the most exciting part of what we do, there is nothing better than formulating a new beer and experimenting on our kit to make it. THE SECOND INDEPENDENT SALFORD BEER FESTIVAL

Bad Seed, Malton NOTES badseedbrewery.com | @badseedbrewery

Aussie Session IPA – Pale Ale – 4.3% abv
